Vulcan Value Partners made the following comment about Cushman & Wakefield plc (NYSE:CWK) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

Cushman & Wakefield plc (NYSE:CWK) had good operating results in the second quarter but was a material detractor. Company management did not increase their guidance for the year, suggesting the possibility of a weak second half, and the market may be worried about that possibility. We expect economic conditions to be more challenging as we enter 2023, and we are taking a cautious approach to our valuation. The company recently authorized a share buyback for 10% of its outstanding shares, which we think is both a positive sign and an intelligent capital allocation decision. Overall, we think the company is performing well, and its results are in line with our expectations.”
